German-born artist Margit Mederich explores the primitive art of felting, creating unique, handmade pieces that are stamped with her love for nature and her profound sensitivity towards the environment. We caught up with the artist behind Byron-based Felt Indie, to discuss the evolution of her craft, her passion for natural, raw materials, and her inspirations. 

At Uscha, we care about our planet and the welfare of our skilled craftsmen, which is why we strive to ensure that our pieces are manufactured according to Fair Trade standards using methods and materials that have a minimal impact on the environment. 

Sharon Alpren is a studio potter whose functional pieces draw heavily upon observations of nature, art, architecture, and her immediate surroundings. We caught up with the UK-born artist at her home studio in Kyneton to discuss her practice, inspirations, and the importance of getting back to basics.
